I've been induced three times, and each tine I've been allowed top go to the bathroom when needed. With my third they encouraged walking, so I could walk for 30 minutes, then go back on the monitors for 30, then walk 30, and so on. It was a tiny hospital and I could only pass the same rooms so many times in one walk, so I walked 15 or 20 and tried to poop for 15 or 10. Right before my epidural I had to pee and finally went poop!
